You will notice on the concept map that ATP has a little
explosion in the background. It is often depicted this way because
ATP is associated with energy. But after thinking about it,
I came to the conclusion that a better way to depict ATP would
be as a charged battery because energy is being stored in the
molecule, not released. When ATP breaks down to ADP, that is
when the energy is released.
Now that you have a good understanding of ATP, you can move
on to the process of glycolysis which is the first process that
glucose goes through as it is broken down to extract energy
from it. But first, do these
Just to make sure you know the kind of things you should know by now before moving on to glycolysis.
